Jon picked out a setup that is going to be perfect for his needs, he is not looking to push the envelope on his car, he wanted a fast spooling turbo with decent top end and the ability to upgrade easily down the road.
The good thing about going with a Turbo Kit sooner then later is he won't be throwing his money away on a ported exhaust manifold, upgraded o2 housing, upgraded downpipe, new lower pipe, etc. The only thing that will need to be changed is a switch of a turbo. Most people can't get into a red for under 2200-2400 unless you run your stock o2 housing, downpipe, lower pipe, etc.
Thanks!

This is very true, I was just pointing out that a RED would have better mid range and torque with the same power is all. Nothing wrong with a turbo kit at all, but I'd say at least a 35R just to get the big power needs later or still great pump gas power now. As far as lag the RED retaining the twinscroll stock design owns any open scroll design and has proven to be an 9 Second turbo already.
I am also extremely partial to stock like setups as it retains the performance image of the Evo properly. You always want that insa-boost feeling with the Evo to get that completely balanced performance. A 30R loses that, a 35R more so but atleast the 35R will make EXTREME WHP where as the RED is entirely comparable to a 30R. I am not bashing the ETS Turbo kit, more so the choice of a turbo where I feel the Red is much more suited especially for street use.

I do, you realize you retain twinscroll setup and get a larger powerband then the open scroll GT3076R? Power band is the name of the game here.

How much boost was this tune 
I just ordered
ETS's HTA3076 Kit (with ceramic coating on the manifold, also wastegate is a dump style)
GSC S2 Cams for the IX
ARP Headstuds/Rodbolts
Beehive springs
980CC Injectors
I already have
Megan Midpipe/Catback (Megan downpipe & tubular manifold on stock turbo but all those are coming off)
ETS Intake, 3.5" FMIC, LICP & UICP w/ minibattery
255 Walbro Fuel Pump
I scored 324/313 @ AMS's dyno with these mods. Going to have everything tuned by AMS again after I finish putting this stuff on the car.
Any ideas?

If AMS tuned your car in the 1st place then you numbers are fine. A GT3076 SHOULD make 420-450WHP (especially on a IX) on just pump gas. They run out of breath at 500WHP which is why I think a RED would be much better, fatter mid range and use of stock style parts is always better.
With that said you should be able to get a high trap, at least 118MPH or so and hold boost till 8000RPMS no problems.
Id' say if you want a 3076R, get a red, then next step after a RED is a GT35R HTA, that's it, everything else is inferior.
STOCK IX TURBO
RED
35R

wouldent 118 be kinda slow for a almost 500hp evo and ive never driven in a evo with the red but i have driven in a evo with a 3076 and the mid range is there after awhile you will get use to it and not even notice the little bit of lag it comes with.

118 People are close to getting Stock Turbo Pump gas, a 3076R pump gas should get you over 120 no problem.
